In 1948 he earned his B.A. in Music at Catawba College in North Carolina. He returned to Japan in the early 1950s to repair organs and teach English at Miyagi Gakuin University. There he met his future wife, Audrey. In 1954 he completed his M.A. in Music Theory and Composition, and in 1955 he completed his M. Music, both at the University of Redlands.
